Fedup,
Listen to higney and Airsupport. They actually work here and recount their experiences in an accurate and balanced fashion.
There are advantages and disadvantages associated with working here. Right now the disadvantages grossly tip the scales however things will change drastically for the better when we get a new contract. When we get a contract is the big question and at what expense? We've made it clear that we would all rather strike and risk our jobs than accept a substandard contract. I personally feel that we may be starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel - whether that means a TA or release to strike - but you should by no means count on this.
This industry is cyclical and todays best company could be tomorrows worst, especially in the regional field. If I were choosing where to go, I would not come to Pinnacle as a new hire at this point. There is simply too much uncertainty. However if you are still considering Pinnacle, do some more research on these forums. There is a lot of information in many other threads. Good luck in any case.
